As mentioned in the whitepaper, Mini Kishu is a project that seeks to combine three main technological trends: non-fungible tokens (NFTs), blockchain-based decentralized finance (DeFi), and video games. Kishu aims to benefit from all three of these rising trends.

The project has developed a blockchain-based game where players earn valuable NFTs to stake in DeFi and breed additional NFTs. These NFTs feature Kishu Inu dog avatars who engage in virtual fights. Kishu participants can earn NFTs, which they can then stake into to earn and produce NFTs - all while participating in game mechanics.

The Mini Kishu’s ecosystem consists of different tokens: 

Additionally, there is one more component in the game, Pups. When puppies are initially born, they are essentially collectibles. Players can keep them as collectibles or promote them to ‘Fighter Pups.’ They must go through training in the ‘Training Facility’ to become ‘Fighter Pups.’ Training lasts 30 days, and unfortunately, not all puppies complete it. Their odds of surviving training are determined by their vitality score, which they acquire from their parents. The training of a puppy includes soft training and severe training. Training a puppy impacts their final statistics as a Fighter Pup.

Mini Kishu was launched in 2021.
